EXCLUSIVE MANDATES
At SearchLight we believe in committing ourselves fully to the relationship. We invest every ounce of our intellect, experience and resources in obtaining the right candidates for our clients. We expect similar reciprocation from our clients and hence as a basic engagement structure, we do not work on mandates which are being worked by multiple agencies. SearchLight chooses to invest in mandates which are exclusively delivered by us. Since the basic framework operates on a success fee model we believe in working on mandates where the probability of closure is high.
MANDATE GRADATION
SearchLight HR has a unique internal process where the mandates are allocated internal grading. This categorization is based on parameters of Urgency, Growth v/s Attrition position, seriousness of the client, timelines allocated, availability of our internal resources, interview process at clients end and a few other parameters, Based on the categorization we award it respective consultants who shall work on execution of these mandates as per committed timelines.
